Library and information science(s) or studies (LIS)[1][2] is an interdisciplinary field of study that deals generally with organization, access, collection, and protection/regulation of information, whether in physical (e.g. art, legal proceedings, etc.) or digital forms.
In spite of various trends to merge the two fields, some consider the two original disciplines, library science and information science, to be separate.[3][4] However, it is common today to use the terms synonymously or to drop the term "library" and to speak about information departments or I-schools.[5] There have also been attempts to revive the concept of documentation and to speak of Library, information and documentation studies (or science).[6]
